Besides just a A, the letters AY are the usual long A sound (bay, day). A silent E after a consonant will often give the A a long sound (came, date).
Other letters that can have the long A sound are:
A words - able, anal, apiary, aviation (2)
AI words - fail, maid, plain
EA words - great, steak
EI words - veil, vein, beige
EY words - obey, trey, they
EIGH words - weigh, weight, neighbor
From French:
ET/ IT - buffet, cachet, chalet, crochet, filet, sachet, sorbet, parfait
QUE/ QUET (kay) - risque, bouquet, croquet
E / EE / ER - cliche, passe, soiree, toupee, dossier
and rarely AE as in caeca (kay-kuh)
